Senator Mark Kelly faced criticism after posting a photo of himself wearing a Mexico jersey at a World Cup Watch Party. The post quickly went viral, with many USMNT fans expressing frustration that a U.S. senator would support a rival team. Some users questioned whether Kelly would also support the USMNT in their upcoming match against Belgium. Fox News analyst Clay Travis and CNN pundit Scott Jennings criticized Kelly's choice to support Mexico, with Travis stating that American sports fans he knows would not do the same.
